No Call No Life Novels & Stories

I can see her shocked expression while holding our telephone. "And why are they so noisy below? I can't sleep with the noise," I scolded. "Ma'am Calliana, t-there's an emergency. Someone called from a hospital and... and," she was gesturing me to get the telephone from her. I took the phone and put it in my ear. "Hello, this is Calliana Stella Laurier speaking," I said.

I shrank back against the wall around the corner, a hand clamped over my mouth as my body shook uncontrollably. My younger brother, Noah Chance's horrifying death, was still replaying in my mind. Sylvia Fuller was promising Wilson Hink, "Once my pregnancy is stable, let's get married."

My business flourished, and I busied myself in the store every single day. One day, Haley Turner came all the way from my hometown to inform me that Timothy had fallen into a drain and died after getting drunk. He'd been drinking heavily every single day prior to his death. As for Avery, she'd died from heavy blood loss after getting an abortion at an underground clinic. She had also lost the baby. I sighed when Haley told me all this. It really felt like Avery and Timothy were just suffering the consequences of their own actions. In the end, my store branched out across the nation, and I became the wealthiest person in Greenwood Vale.

A chill ran through me at those words. … The next day, Dad drove Queenie to her competition. During the journey, Dad seemed distracted. He kept glancing at his phone, but he did not do anything. I floated over and saw my name displayed on the screen. Was Dad thinking about calling me? As if reading my mind, he grabbed his phone and placed the call. "Sorry, the number you are calling is…" Before the automated message ended, Dad hung up. His expression was dark, his brows furrowed in anger.

He couldn't utter a single word. After a long pause, he fumbled with his phone and opened his chat with Grace. That was when he realized that the screen was a solid wall of his own text bubbles. Grace's side was completely blank. Not a single reply. Gina had followed him inside at some point, standing just behind him. She noticed his hand trembling. "Daniel?" she called out softly. Daniel didn't look back. When he finally spoke, his voice was hollow and completely lost. "She's gone.”

I was lounging at home, scrolling through social media, when a livestream title suddenly caught my eye—"The Other Woman Crash Course." Curious, I entered to see a woman talking animatedly, "My sugar daddy gives me 200,000 every month. I just need to keep him satisfied!" Viewers were doubtful and asked, "I don't believe you. Tell us how you two met." She smiled. "That's alright. You don't get to meet someone like that every day. I met him after doing a bone marrow transplant with his girlfriend three years ago. That's how I met this golden bachelor." I frowned. I had a bone marrow transplant three years ago too. Suddenly, the door opened, and she covered her phone in panic. A man's deep

A loud gasp escaped from everyone's mouth, followed by a scream of "impossible." "Nothing is impossible," I said with a deep, calm voice, trying my best to avoid Kira's gaze and to be calm altogether. "I am the same Rey Reed that was killed by your best player," I said, pointing at the venom woman. "How did you come back to life after two months of being at the burial site?" Ryan asked in shock. I replied with a smirk, "Like I always say, I am a cat with twenty lives." "Besides, tomorrow never dies and the angel won't even accept my soul."

“That is an extra expense every month. I don’t have gold to waste on that. I don’t want it. If the captain finds out I took this from you, she will be very mad. I am only in this until I find my captain. After that, I am off with her on the sea for good. Never coming on land again. Captain was right all along. People on the land drown faster than the ones who sail on the sea. We shouldn’t have stayed on the land for so long—” “Take the fucking phone, Nox, or I am really gonna put a bullet in that walnut sized brain of yours,” Verity said annoyingly. “The same walnut that cracked your memories,” Nox mumbled. “What did you say?” Verity snapped. “Nothing.” Nox took the phone with a frown and an

An unscrupulous company discharges toxic wastewater into the river, causing my whole family to be poisoned because we rely on that river for survival.

The whole city's respectable families would be in attendance; if they saw a horror-show themed ceremony, they would mock me without mercy. I had to stop it, but Yves's friend, Nina Cullen, refused outright and sneered at me. I called Yves. His voice on the other end was dismissive. "Stop making a scene. You're being paranoid." My expression hardened; I raised my voice. "I'm not making a scene. This isn't a wedding set; this is something else entirely—" He cut me off and hung up. I stood there, stunned. Was this the patient, emotionally stable man I thought I knew?
